Newcomer You Need A Budget (YNAB) topped the poll with 50.84% of the vote. Mint came in second after leading early-on, with 28.63%.

Bringing up the rear is the now-discontinued (but still free) Microsoft Money, with 3.3% of the vote.

It's worth noting that the founder of YNAB reached out to us to let us know that he let fans, users, and the community around YNAB know about our poll and advised them to vote, so that may have influenced the final results. Regardless, it's clear there are a lot of YNAB fans here in our community as well, so the app is well worth a look.
